摘要: In the study of data exchange one usually assumes an open-world semantics, making it possible to extend instances target schemas. An alternative closed-world semantics only moves 'as much as needed' from source satisfy constraints a schema mapping. It avoids some problems exhibited by but limits expressivity mappings. Here we propose mixed approach: can designate different attributes schemas open or closed, combine additional with better behavior query answering in closed worlds. We define such mappings, and show that they cover large space solutions two extremes being known semantics. investigate mapping composition, prove trichotomy theorems, classifying their complexity based on number attributes. find conditions under which mappings compose, extending results wide range also provide for restricted classes queries guaranteeing lower complexity.
